Not sure what to say?

I met Keith on our Not-TR Slack channel. He is the kind of person that shares freely his joys and his pain. He helped me out with my network just a few weeks ago.

I'm shocked and saddened that he has passed so young. We will all miss him.

Doug "LoneWolf" Terborg I didn´t know Charlie long. But what I knew of him was deep, friendly, memorable, and most of all, meaningful. He offered friendship freely and generously. He was willing to talk about his ups and downs in life, especially if he thought they would help someone else in their own life´s journey. I am very sorry to know he is gone; the world is just a little darker and a little colder with his passing. My thoughts go out to all of his family and any of his friends...

A few years ago Charlie asked his friends in the "Not-TR" Slack to send him interesting foods from our native lands so he could try some new things.

A few months ago, we were messaging back and forth on Slack. Charlie must've accidentally hit the "huddle" (voice chat) button; I assumed he wanted to talk so I put on my headset and said...

Charlie was a better friend to me than I deserved. I was hoping to see him later this summer, we had plans for July. My world is a little smaller and darker than it was. I'm sorry we didn't get to the BBQ. I won't forget you.
